PM loses support despite bid to save her Brexit deal

Theresa May has launched a last-ditch bid to save her Brexit deal, but ended up losing more MPs' support. The prime minister unveiled a 10-point plan to "seek common ground in parliament", including giving MPs another vote on a second referendum and giving the Commons a bigger say in the next step of negotiations with Brussels.

A report claims a 20% reduction in red meat consumption would reduce greenhouse gases by around six million tonnes a year. People need to give up red meat to prevent catastrophic damage to the planet 's climate, a former government chief scientist has told Sky News.

Why not just ditch meat for the sake of the animals ALL animals . In the future nobody is going to eat meat anyway it’s gonna be considered unnatural. We must ditch mass immigration to save the planet .

Professor Sir David King, who is setting up a centre for climate repair at the University of Cambridge, said cattle and sheep produce so much greenhouse gas that diets must radically change to stop global warming.

Research shows that beef has a carbon footprint up to nine times higher than the same weight of chicken and around 200 times higher than vegetarian protein such as beans.

US warns Iran of 'unrelenting force' as it deploys carrier

The US has dispatched an aircraft carrier and bomber task force to the Middle East after receiving "clear indications" that Iran was preparing to possibly attack US forces in the region. National security adviser John Bolton said the move to deploy the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Gulf was in response to "a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings". He did not provide details, but said the US wanted to send a message that "unrelenting force" would meet any attack on US interests or those of its allies.

The scientists signed an article in the Journal of Bioscience entitled “World Scientists ’ Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice.” Initially published in 2017, the number of scientists offering support for the article and its message has risen from 15,000 to more than 21,000 in the last two years.

Scientists in London say they have found the best diet for both humans and the planet . If the world followed the so-called “ planetary health” diet, the The scientists who created this diet say it is largely plant-based but still has small amounts of dairy, fish and meat . The diet calls for cutting red

Meat consumption has fallen by 3% over the last 20 years, but our appetite for beef has remained level.

Marco Springman, a sustainability researcher from the University of Oxford, said that to keep the planet within "the climate change boundary" people should eat no more than one portion of red meat a week, and one glass of milk, or a slice of cheese, a day.

"We estimate if we were to account for current estimates of climate damage in the prices of food then beef would need to become 20% more expensive and milk 15% more expensive in the UK," he said.

"You can call it putting a fair price on food."

The committee on climate change, the government's official advisers, shy away from recommending big cuts in meat consumption.

It recently produced a report on how the UK could reduce greenhouse gas emissions to "net zero" by 2050.

A 20% reduction in red meat consumption as a result of people adopting healthier diets would reduce greenhouse gases by around six million tonnes a year, according to the report.

But further reductions in consumption would rely on "a larger societal shift with questions over public acceptability".

Both Sir David and Dr Springman told Sky News the offsetting was not enough.

However, innovation could give meat eaters the taste of beef, but with a much reduced carbon footprint.

Sky News was given rare access to a lab in Maastricht in the Netherlands where scientists produced the first burger from cow cells they had grown in a dish. The cells increase in number and coalesce into muscle fibres.
